The individual buttons are described in the
“Operation” section. The Uconnect Phone can be used with any

phone. See the Uconnect website for supported
phones. Refer to your mobile service provider or
the phone manufacturer for details.
The Uconnect Phone is fully integrated with the
vehicle's audio system. The volume of the

specific command and then guided through the
available options.

beep, which follows the “Ready” prompt or
another prompt.

commands can be used. For example,
instead of saying “Setup” and then “Phone

can be said: “Setup Phone Pairing.”

commands into parts and say each part of
the command when you are asked for it. For
example, you can use the compound form
voice command “Phonebook New Entry,” or
you can break the compound form command
into two voice commands: “Phonebook” and
“New Entry.” Please remember, the Uconnect
Phone works best when you talk in a normal
conversational tone, as if speaking to
someone sitting a few feet/meters away from
you.
Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you
want to know your options at any prompt, say
“Help” following the beep. The Uconnect Phone
will play all the options at any prompt if you ask
for help.
WARNING!

used only in safe driving conditions following
all applicable laws. Your attention should be
focused on safely operating the vehicle.
